Beloved Video Intro

Our Advent 2016 sermon series Belovedis about focusing on the greatest love story ever told: the love of God for us, His creation. God loved us so much that He sent His Son to suffer and die on our behalf. Christmas is a celebration of the beginning of that story.

Song of Songs captures the deep passion of those yoked in marriage, but it’s also a metaphor for Jesus Christ and His bride, the church. Song of Songs 2:16 says, “My beloved is mine and I am his.” That is how Jesus feels about us. God is coming over the hills to reach you, to save you, to bring you home...and to call you His Beloved.
